Understanding Unified Logon

For configurations in which the Enterprise Server is on a Windows machine, to set up unified logon, you need to modify only the [SECURITY] section of the jde.ini file. When a user signs on, these settings alert the software to use unified logon.

When the Enterprise Server is on a non-Windows platform, you need to set up a Windows service for unified logon. This service identifies the unified logon server for EnterpriseOne. You also need to set the unified logon settings in the [SECURITY] section of the jde.ini file.

Important: When you use unified logon, you need to use the same user ID for the Windows domain and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne so that the records for each are synchronized. For example, if the user ID for a user in the Windows domain is USER1, the user ID for EnterpriseOne must also be USER1. If the user IDs are different, unified logon does not work for the user.
